No, not at the foot bridge. At far end of the property there is a dirt road
turn in. It then forks. Either fork will bring you around to a rough, easy
to put the boat in launch. Take the straight ahead rather than the around
to the left fork and you get there slightly easier. By far end I mean to go
past the foot bridge. It is about 100-150 yrds farther down the road. Jere
